Texas Round-Up is proud to partner with Nike and help Texans prepare for the Nike+ Human Race.
Beginning on July 13, 2008, everyone who uses Texas Round-Up’s free GetFitTexas! program will become a participant in the Nike+ Human Race Challenge. Just like the Governor’s Challenge, the Nike+ Human Race Challenge encourages you to exercise at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week, for six weeks and enter your exercise information in GetFitTexas!.
Upon completion of the six weeks, individuals will receive a Nike+ Human Race Challenge completion certificate. In addition, within each of the GetFitTexas! team categories, the team with the highest completion percentage will receive a Nike+ Human Race Challenge plaque.
If you’ve already created a team in GetFitTexas!, you can continue using it in the Nike+ Human Race Challenge. If you haven’t created a team, you can sign in at the Texas Round-Up website to set one up today and start logging activity.
The Nike+ Human Race Challenge begins on July 13, 2008 and continues through August 23, 2008. That is exactly six weeks from start to finish, so don’t wait to get started. Sign in today, and let’s show the world how we are all Fit Texans! |

About the Nike+ Human Race On 08.31.08, Nike hosts a run like no other before with the Nike+ Human Race - the World’s Largest One Day Running Event. Nike’s first global race will take place over the course of one day, with a goal of one million runners, across 25 cities and featuring 25 top musical acts. The 10k event celebrates runners and their sport, offering participants across the globe the chance to run and compete together in an unprecedented race experience. Spanning multiple continents, Nike+ Human Race cities will include LA, New York, London, Madrid, Paris, Istanbul, Melbourne, Shanghai, São Paulo and Vancouver among others. Following races in each city, participants will be treated to an exclusive music concert featuring one of today’s top artists. Participants will be able to run for a cause as a portion of funds raised will be donated to three Nike+ Human Race beneficiaries: WWF, the global conservation organization, Lance Armstrong Foundation and UN refugee agency's
ninemillion.org campaign. The race will be open to anyone, anywhere. Runners outside of the 25 race day cities can join by logging into nikeplus.com. With the help of Nike+ and the Nike+ SportBand, every city and every road can become a race-day course. For more information, visit
